LoadControl missing?

[tbrentlong]

I need to programatically load a control so that I can set properties and have it rendered appropriately. However, when I attempt to LoadControl, I get the following error:

"An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property
'System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(string)'

//the line:
protected Header ucHeader = (Header)LoadControl("uc/Header.ascx"

Any suggestions?

I found the solution.

I was attempting to assign the control outside of a method. Oddly enough, this works in another app that I did using VB. I changed the line as shown below and moved the assignment inside of Page_Load:

protected Header ucHeader;

private void Page_Load(....)
{
ucHeader = (Header)LoadControl("uc/Header.ascx"
}

Strange. Hope this helps someone.
